Cnc Beam Drill Line Design

Cnc Beam Drill Line Hookup

In medium- to large-sized structural fabrication shops, beam drill lines are an important tool. Beam drills can drill holes in many steel profiles and at different lengths using CNC-controlled programming. These machines can be used to cut holes in a variety of steel profiles without the need for manual layout or chalking. This tedious process can take several weeks and require multiple workers to complete. The beam drill line eliminates the need for manual layout and all associated errors.

Even if you are programming the CNC Beam Drill Line manually, it is easy to program. Peddimat machine programming software can be used and most operators will learn how to program most of the parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 or StruMis. These files are imported directly into your machine. Once you have selected the part, hit the Cycle Start button.

What good is a CNC drill line if it doesn't position a fabricator to compete at a high level in the steel fabrication arena. The Advantage-2 has the functionality to process technical programs with intelligence and speed. Equipped with three five-station tool changers, each drilling axis has the capability to drill, mill, countersink, tap and scribe. This drill line can also be equipped with a Signoscript underside scriber or Signomat part stamping unit. Part information is retained even after painting, blasting and galvanizing processes. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Carbide tooling gives the Advantage-2 more aggressive drilling and a higher quantity of holes than any drill line before it. The high torque drilling axes have a thicker more aggressive cut removing more chips with each rotation. This drill line will chew through beams, channel, angle, tube and even flat bar. With a processing window of 44 inches wide and 18 inches tall no profile can escape the reach of the Advantage-2.

FlexBeam is a brand new machine tool for producing steel profiles. It can be used to produce high-quality, cost-effectively and quickly. This machine can handle large-scale jobs and is an efficient option for small- to medium-sized fabrication shops.

Voortman CNC Beam Drill Lines are often part of a Drill Saw Line combination or larger fully integrated production lines. These are also known as Multi System Integration. Read more below!

There are two options when it comes to CNC machinery. One is a Vertical Machining center and one is a CNC router. You can use both pieces of equipment for different reasons. Which one should I choose?

The CNC Beam Drill Line may be programmed by hand at the machine, or remotely using the Peddimat Software. This software is included with the AVENGER. You can install it on as many computers as you want in your office. It is the same program that is on the machine.

GSS Machinery's support has been invaluable in enabling us to excel in the steel fabrication market that we currently find ourselves in.

Remote assistance may not be able to diagnose all issues. There are still many mechanical issues that need to be addressed by a human. Voortman machines can be shipped with high resolution web cameras and software. Voortman staff can see what is happening at the site without needing to leave their offices. The webcam is extremely useful for communicating issues in foreign countries and situations where it might be difficult to speak the right language.

Voortman developed Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software, which takes CNC innovation to the next level by allowing users to program more quickly and accurately. The 3D platform allows you to inspect, modify, and export part information. This, combined with Voortman CNC technology, means maximum fabricator capacity.

An attachment with 4-axis layout marking reduces human error when manual layout is used. You can still retain part information even after blasting, painting and galvanizing.

We train every operator on how to operate the machine using Peddimat. This is because you may be faced with a situation where a customer has a couple of pieces that need holes or layout marks. You want to be able produce these quickly and without disturbing your detailing staff, who might be working on a larger project.

The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line with its powerful material handling support, meticulous measurement capabilities and high speed designs are ideal for tandem installations with any of Voortman' automatic sawing systems.

Let’s compare Twist Drill Bits and Insert Drill bits in the real life fabrication situation. We will just look at one example – 13/16? (22mm), which is typically the most commonly drilled hole diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Channel would cost less than a similar thickness of square tubing but would last longer because it is channel x2. You could easily make a bolt-together rack with channel by welding flat steel caps (IE top of the uprights).

As a minimum beam diameter, all structural engineers recommend a 12mm dia bar.

As we all know, T-beam casting with slab is possible. Its flange absorbs compressive stress which means it will resist greater sagging moments of beam. The beam's depth is lower than ordinary beam, which gives you more headroom. For beam deflection reduction, T-beam is preferred over ordinary beam.

The strength tolerances of the C-beam are lower than those of the I-beam. This results in lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles.
